the "agility suspension" is a gimmick. the fact is that most modern cars have suspensions that "sense" heavy loads and reacts accordingly

I never really researched it, but does "agility suspension" simply mean progressive rate springs?

I live in Pickering so the roads are pritty good, if i lived in Toronto i would still get supersports, but it would probably not be the greatest idea.

Planning to do what eyemd has done but I run on an Advanced Agility Control (Sport Button that are not available in US). Anyone here uses Eibach with 5mm rear spring pads with Advanced Agility Control? Any feedback? TIA.
